Channel is Somerset House’s new curated online space for art, ideas and the artistic process.
From February 2024, vocalist, performer, and DJ Dis Fig (Felicia Chen) joins the community for a three-month residency, with a focus on developing new processes of production and performance which will delve more into improvisation. Dis Fig’s practice explores cinematic sonic expressions with weighty emotional intensity.
This residency supports the presentation of a new work commissioned by Somerset House Studios in collaboration with Goethe-Institut London and CTM Festival in Assembly, Somerset House Studios’ experimental sound, music and performance series which returns for its fourth edition in March 2024.
Returning for its fourth edition, Assembly continues its focus on producing original live works developed in residence and through partnerships. March’s multi-day programme will feature a series of new commissions, putting sound and music in dialogue with a variety of disciplines.
Following its premiere at Assembly, this new work by Dis Fig will travel to CTM Festival in 2025.
